Feels like anti-christmas in town. On the one hand the people in my orbit are acting like nothing is different. On the other, the media is howling like wolves at the moon. All of this bleating and worry and false excitement is built up around the media’s version of the Super Bowl: Election Day. Finally there will be a legit 24 hours worth of news to deliver, as opposed to running the same story every ten minutes and sandwiching a lot of fluff between.
Fake Super Bowl/anti xmas/bad easter always provides a host of close political races to wet our appetite for the big finale late in the night. This year’s Clinton-Trump race has been categorized as historic and exciting and a real nail biter without any sense of whether it is going to be real or not. I suppose the hype makes it real the way the hype makes the Kardashians real.
As I type away my last pre-election blog I am left wondering: How big of a deal is this, really? I mean the right congress could mitigate either side. Maybe that is just the campaign fatigue talking.
